Brooklyn In The Summer

Remember we sat in the cold, no money in MontrealUnderneath that waterfall nobody else ever sawI packed up everything except those memoriesThat only I can see, and can't get rid ofI still remember the first, your body hit every nerveUsed to wake up in my shirt, that's the one I had to burnTrying not to stare, but you are everywhereYou're everywhere that I ever known

You feel like Brooklyn in the summerBeen hiding, had to wait for so longAnd it's the subtleties, you've only ever seenBringing the mess of me back togetherYou feel like Brooklyn in the summerBeen stumbling, half awake for so longGotta forget that feeling, give into something realI've got, I've gotta let you goGotta let you go

This morning I walked to the train, just like you did every dayEveryone else is the same, I wonder if you're the sameAnd do you lay your head in someone else's bedTo help you bury it? Just like you always didAnd now you're in all of my words, only way I can returnMemories fade in reverse, but you will always be heardWherever I can sing, you'll be right there with meThe notes and melodies that only I can see

You feel like Brooklyn in the summerBeen hiding, had to wait for so longAnd it's the subtleties, you've only ever seenBringing the mess of me back togetherYou feel like Brooklyn in the summerBeen stumbling, half awake for so longGotta forget that feeling, give into something realI've got, I've gotta let you goGotta let you go

But maybe I'm not really ready to give up you'Cause nobody ever mattered to me like you do'Cause you're so up here, I caught that feelingAnd touch the ceiling, oohI wish I could describe it with words just ain't enoughAnd nothing that I could say would ever measure upBut what I can't stand is you're outta my handsAnd up outta your plans, ooh

You feel like Brooklyn in the summerBeen hiding, had to wait for so longAnd it's the subtleties, you've only ever seenBringing the mess of me back togetherYou feel like Brooklyn in the summerBeen stumbling, half awake for so longGotta forget that feeling, give into something realI've got, I've gotta let you goGotta let you go
